Crappy day

Did nothing all day except grumble at the weather, watch Futurama (surprise!) and wonder at quite how I've managed to get myself into a fairly useless financial position. Bah.

Decided that the tapewound strings on the acoustic bass were crap and cut them off with scissors, causing an interesting effect as the tape unwound from the strings. I put some old normal strings on it and it sounds much better. I even played some Rage Against the Machine on it with a reasonable sound from the built in preamp.
